The ADSL Bandwidth Management HOWTO provides guidance on effectively managing outbound traffic on an ADSL modem.
The ADSL Bandwidth Management HOWTO project is a comprehensive guide to managing outbound traffic on an ADSL modem. The emphasis is on improving the latency for interactive traffic even when the upstream and/or downstream bandwidth is fully saturated. By providing a suggested way to manage outbound traffic, this document aims to solve the problem of limited upstream data transfer rates of about 128kbps for ADSL lines.
One of the major issues with many ADSL modems is the packet queue, which can take up to 2 to 3 seconds to empty when full. Combine this with fully saturated upstream bandwidth, and it can take up to 3 whole seconds for other packets to ultimately exit towards the internet, which can cause havoc for interactive applications such as multi-player games and telnet.
The newest release of ADSL Bandwidth Management HOWTO includes an additional links section, making it even easier to navigate and utilize. This document serves as an essential guide to ensure your ADSL modem functions seamlessly without experiencing any delays or interrupted connections.
